Learning about Thesis | Article

While I was writing that blog based on Thesis' tumblr message, I also came across this really interesting article on him written by More Than A Stance.

I think it's a really good read and I never knew how young he was too. The site hasn't been active since last year but here's the link to the original article, Pieces of Thesis, and if ever the site goes down completely, the button below has a copy-paste of the article.

The Public Struggle | Bboy Thesis

I don’t like to judge bboys – or people for that matter – but when I first heard of Thesis and saw footage of him, I always felt this vibe that he was arrogant. I cannot exactly remember what the heck I was watching but it all came down to superficial feelings of first impressions. And we all know these feelings may or may not be deceiving. Still, there was no denying that this bboy is a beast on the floor – it didn’t matter what his personality was, I had to admire his talent.

Later I stumbled on a copy-paste someone had taken from his tumblr. It was an expression of his feelings as someone under the scrutiny of public expectations and his struggle to stay true to the hip hop culture. I realised then that he actually had A LOT of soul. It's not what he said - it's how he said it.
